"They are not murderers, but they are amazing and beautiful young men," said Linda Biehl of the men convicted of killing her daughter Amy in 1993.

She spoke at a function in Cape Town on Thursday and the comment appeared to confuse and startle members attending the 71st Annual General Meeting of the Union of Jewish Women.

Biehl said that "death not only closes doors, but opens them too".

. . . On August 25 1993, Amy Biehl was beaten and stabbed to death in Gugulethu by four men. She was an anti-apartheid activist and Fulbright Scholar from the United States who worked in the townships to help empower communities disadvantaged by apartheid.

It is mind boggling how these folks think they are 'helping' the situation by inserting themselves and their values into a black cesspool of chaos.

This mother's deranged reaction reminds me of that white trucker Reginald Denny who was nearly beaten to death by roving black mobs in 1992. His brain-damaged response to being dragged out of his truck and slammed in the head with concrete blocks? A big hug and a public forgiveness of the few that they actually charged. Naturally, no one was actually convicted on this though it was caught on tape and aired on national TV.
What is wrong with white people that they have no anger?~k
